Exercise To Firm (Or Prevent) A Double Chin

posted in Health & Fitness on 12/4/2013

As you age, the platysma muscle in your neck that keeps the skin up can lose tone. When this happens, the skin begins to sag, which is what causes the turkey-like neck wattle. Fear not, there is hope.

1. Chin Lifts

This exercise is for the muscles of the chin, throat and jaw line. 1. Keep your spine erect. 2. Take your head back slowly to look at the ceiling. 3. Pucker your lips tightly, as if you wanted to kiss the ceiling. Hold this kissing position for 1 minute and come back. Repeat several times a day.

2. Platysma Exercise

1. Pull your lips back against your teeth. 2. Open your mouth slightly, and activate the muscles of your jaw. Keep your lips pressed firmly against your teeth. The tendons on your neck should stand out. 3. Wiggle your lower jaw up and down 5 to 10 times.
